How They Can Help

Our core services center on property tax assessment appeals for residential and commercial properties throughout Brooklyn. We handle single-family homes, multi-family buildings, condominiums, and commercial spaces ranging from small retail to large office complexes. Each case begins with a comprehensive assessment analysis comparing your property to recent sales and current market conditions. Beyond basic appeals, we provide specialized services including income approach valuations for rental properties, exemption application assistance, and multi-year appeal strategies for properties with complex valuation issues. We also offer assessment monitoring services to help clients stay ahead of potential over-assessments. Our team works closely with local appraisers and maintains current databases of comparable sales to ensure our arguments are supported by solid market evidence.

What to Expect

We start every engagement with a detailed property evaluation and assessment review. During this initial phase, we analyze your property's characteristics against similar properties and recent market activity in your neighborhood. We'll provide you with a clear assessment of your case's potential and explain the appeals process step by step. Once we move forward, we prepare and file your formal appeal with supporting documentation including market studies and property condition assessments. We handle all interactions with the Department of Finance and represent you at hearings when necessary. Throughout the process, we maintain regular communication and provide updates on case progress and any developments that might affect your appeal.

Service Area

A & E serves all Brooklyn neighborhoods with deep familiarity across the borough's diverse markets. From Park Slope and DUMBO to Flatbush and Canarsie, we understand the unique characteristics that affect property values in each area. Our local focus allows us to provide insights that larger citywide firms often miss.

Do you only work in Brooklyn?
Yes, our exclusive Brooklyn focus allows us to provide deeper local expertise and better results. We know every neighborhood and understand local assessment patterns.
How do I know if my property is over-assessed?
We provide free initial consultations to evaluate your assessment. Signs include assessments higher than recent sales of similar properties or significant increases without improvements.
What's the success rate for property tax appeals in Brooklyn?
Success rates vary by neighborhood and property type, but our clients typically achieve reductions in 75-80% of cases we accept.
Can you help with rent-stabilized buildings?
Absolutely. We specialize in rental properties and understand how rent stabilization affects property valuations and assessment calculations.

We'll need basic property information and tax bills to start. We can help gather additional documentation like comparable sales data and property condition information.
What happens if my appeal is successful?
You'll receive a refund for any overpaid taxes plus reduced future tax bills. The savings typically continue for several years until the next reassessment cycle.
